Radio stations with radio data system (RDS) technology broadcast special program information that only radios with an RDS feature can receive. Between 1994 and 1996, the number of RDS radio stations in Verdland increased from 250 to 600. However, since the number of RDS-equipped radios in Verdland was about the same in 1996 as in 1994, the number of Verdlanders receiving the special program information probably did not increase significantly.
Which of the following is an assumption on which the argument depends?

Which of the following is an assumption on which the argument depends? (A) Few if any of the RDS radio stations that began broadcasting in Verdland after 1994 broadcast to people with RDS-equipped radios living in areas not previously reached by RDS stations. (B) In 1996 most Verdlanders who lived within the listening area of an RDS station already had a radio equipped to receive RDS. (C) Equipping a radio station with RDS technology does not decrease the station's listening area. (D) In 1996 Verdlanders who did not own radios equipped to receive RDS could not receive any programming from the RDS radio stations that began broadcasting in Verdland after 1994. (E) The RDS radio stations in Verdland in 1996 did not all offer the same type of programming.
Radio stations with RDS 才能 广播一种special program information。 1994-1996,这种 Radio stations 增加了,可是 用来接受 RDS 的 radio(设备)却没增加。 得出结论special program information的接收也没又增加。 a大概意思是说,很少有1994年后新开的 RDS station是开在那些之前的RDS station 影响不到的地方。(就是说:新开的station都是在原来那些station能覆盖的范围内) 把a取非,如果大部分新开的station在原来station不能把special program information传送到的地方,那么即使设备没有增加,原来接收不到的special program information的地方的设备现在也能接收的到,那么接收的量也就增加了
